Frank,

It's been a little while but here is the statement that I've used in VFP to store a JPG file using FileStream -

lnRet = SQLEXEC(lnHandle, "UPDATE [alumnus] SET [ClassPhoto] = (SELECT BulkColumn FROM OPENROWSET(Bulk 'c:\temp\jpgs\MyFileName.jpg', SINGLE_BLOB) AS BLOB) WHERE AlumnusPK = 'MyPK'")
